Poker Tips

In Poker it is very important not to give your opponents any advantage over you, so we have compiled a list of some poker tips to try and help you (they aren't a guarantee you are going to win if you follow them all, but they may give you a bit of a better chance...)

You have probably heard of the term "Poker Face", what is means is not letting others see what you are thinking or feeling. If you can act exactly the same if you have a single pair in your hand or a Royal Flush then that makes it extremely hard for your opponents to guess what you have in your hand!
As with all forms of gambling, make sure you don't bet more than you are able to lose as you probably won't always come out a winner (visit Gamblers Anonymous if you think you have a gambling problem or addiction USA | UK | Ireland | Australia)
Watch your opponents and study how they play. This is best to do when you aren't in the game. See how they bet, how they react, try and spot any changes they have in their game, personality or even they way they look.
When starting out at Poker many players play too many of their starting hands, top players usually only play their high value starting hands (check out the different Poker Hands). This is a key to profitable play, it's not always about the hands you play, but those that you don't play!
Don't play Poker against players who are loads better than you, find players who you can beat to play against while you learn the rules and become a better player.
Take a break from the game, especially if you are having a bit of a bad run. Freshen up and compose yourself!
